Description of Invention (1) L__________ Supplement [Field of Invention] (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) This invention is generally related to ( coherently) lighting system. More specifically, the present invention relates to reducing speckle in a system of laser illumination. [Background of the Invention] Irradiation of a rough surface with coherent light causes speckles. The reflection from this rough surface is called diffuse reflection. Transmission through this rough surface is called diffuse penetration. In this diffuse reflection or diffuse penetration, light is scattered in different directions. Coherent light scattered by the diffuse reflection or diffuse penetration forms a dry-wound pattern in a space away from the rough surface. If you look with a human eye, your eyes will see the "grainy" pattern of light and dark. The particle pattern is a spot. If an optical system looks at a rough surface illuminated by the coherent light, the intensity detector of the optical system will also detect the speckle. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. One of the first demonstration equipment in the mail is shown in Figure 1. The first speckle proof device 1 includes a first proof laser 2, a first divergent lens 4, and a first viewing screen 6, which are positioned on a first optical axis 8. The first proof laser 2 emits a first laser beam 10. The first divergent lens 4 transforms the first laser beam 10 into a divergent laser beam 12. The divergent laser beam 12 illuminates a first large area 14 of the first viewing screen 6. The first viewing screen 6 diffusely reflects the divergent laser beam 12 to generate an interference pattern. The observation panel 16 at a position on the second optical axis 18 intersects the interference pattern. This observation ^ The paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 29 < 7 mm) ^ " " -4-499785 A7 ___ B7 _ V. Description of the invention (2) (Please read the note on the back first Please fill in this page again) Panel 16 is the viewing area in the eye or the space focused by the optical system. It should be noted that the divergent lens 4 helps to prove the speckles, but does not produce speckles. ‘Figure 2 is a photograph of a typical spot 17 of the prior art, which shows the spot seen from the viewing panel 16. The constructive interference of the diverging laser beam 12 diffusely reflected from the viewing screen 6 creates a bright spot on the viewing panel 16. Destructive interference creates dark spots between bright spots. The diffuse reflection from the rotten screen 6 has a random nature, so that the bright and dark points change across the entire viewing panel 16. One measure of speckle is contrast (C). The comparison (percentage) is C = 100 * IRMS / 'r, where is the average intensity and IrMS is the square root intensity fluctuation near the average intensity.

Goodman 在 '、Some fundamental properties of speckle (J. Opt. Soc. Α., νοΐ. 66, no. 11, Nov. 1976, pp 1145-1150 )中提到斑點可藉由將N個不相關的(uncorrelated)斑 點圖案重疊來加以減少。這可將對比唔低2 / ( N ) 1 / 2 ,如果該等必個不相關的斑點圖案f a;有相同的平均強度 •及對比。如果該等N個不相關的斑點圖案息有不相同的平 均強度或不相同的對比的話,則該斑點減少因數將大於 1 / (. N ) 1 / 2。因此,對於N個不相關的斑點圖案而言 ,1 / ( N ) 1 / ^減少因數是最佳的斑點減少情形。Goodman in ', Some fundamental properties of speckle (J. Opt. Soc. Α., Νοΐ. 66, no. 11, Nov. 1976, pp 1145-1150) mentioned that speckles can be obtained by separating N unrelated ( Uncorrelated) speckle patterns are overlapped to reduce them. This reduces the contrast by 2 / (N) 1/2 if these must be unrelated speckle patterns f a; have the same average intensity • and contrast. If the N unrelated spot patterns have different average intensities or different contrasts, then the spot reduction factor will be greater than 1 / (. N) 1/2. Therefore, for N unrelated speckle patterns, a 1 / (N) 1 // ^ reduction factor is the best speckle reduction scenario.
Goodman進一步教導不相關的斑點圖案可藉由時間, 空間,頻率,或偏振機構來獲得。例如,該空間機構可藉 由一第二證明雷射,其操作的波長與該第一證明雷射2相 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準( CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) "" 一 -5- 499785 A7 B7 五、發明説明(3 ) (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 同,及一位在一第三光軸上的第二發散透鏡其照射該第一 觀看螢幕6的第一大的面積1 4,來產生。如果該第一光 軸8及第三光軸被分開一足夠的角度的話,則斑點將可被 減少1 /( 2 ) 1 / 2。角度上的分離是必需的,如果該具 有.第二雷射光束的第二證明雷射被建構成該第一雷射光束 1 〇及該第二雷射光束重疊的話,則斑點將不會被減少, 如果時間,頻率,或偏振機構沒有被使用的話。這是因爲 當角度分離不存在時,該第一證明雷射及該第二證明雷射 會產生相同的斑點圖案,縱使該第一證明雷射2與該第二 證明雷射係不相干(incoherent)。Goodman further teaches that unrelated speckle patterns can be obtained by time, space, frequency, or polarization mechanisms. For example, the space agency can use a second certification laser whose operating wavelength is in accordance with the Chinese standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) of the paper size of the first certification laser 2 phase " " a- 5- 499785 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (3) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Same, and a second divergent lens on a third optical axis which illuminates the first viewing screen 6 The first large area of 1 to 4 comes. If the first optical axis 8 and the third optical axis are separated by a sufficient angle, the speckles can be reduced by 1 / (2) 1/2. The angular separation is necessary. If the second proof laser with the second laser beam is constructed to form the first laser beam 10 and the second laser beam overlaps, the speckle will not be affected. Reduce if time, frequency, or polarization mechanism is not used. This is because when the angle separation does not exist, the first proof laser and the second proof laser will produce the same speckle pattern, even though the first proof laser 2 and the second proof laser are incoherent ).

The speckle patterns produced by this depolarized screen are significantly different if viewed from a rotating polarization analyzer. This shows that irradiating the two orthogonal polarization components of the depolarizing screen produces two uncorrelated speckle patterns. Therefore, if the viewing screen 6 is a 100% depolarized screen, the contrast will be reduced by 1 / (2) 1/2. Another method commonly used in this technique, printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to produce multiple speckle patterns, is to move the viewing screen 6 in a swing motion 19, this swing motion 19. Use The time agency taught by Goodman. This oscillating motion 19 is typically along a circle or an elliptical track to spin around the optical axis 8. This causes the speckle pattern to move relative to the eye viewing the viewing screen 6 or the optical system, thereby generating a plurality of speckle patterns over a period of time. Although the number of spots has not changed at any point in time, the eyes will feel that the paper size produced is applicable. National National Standard (CNS) A4 Specification (210X297 mm ·) -6- 499785 A7 The material date is positive __Β7 _ _ Supplement V. Description of the invention (4) (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Spots, if the speed of the swing motion is above a threshold speed 値. The intensity detector of the optical system will detect that the speckle has been reduced if the exposure time is long enough to allow the speckle pattern to move a significant distance. A second speckle proof device from the prior art is shown in Figure 3. The speckle certification device 20 includes a third certification laser 22, a cylindrical divergent lens 24, a scanning mirror 26, and a second viewing screen 28. The third proof laser 22 emits a third laser beam 30, which is coupled to the cylindrical divergent lens 24. The cylindrical divergent lens 24 converts the third laser beam into a second divergent laser beam 32. The scanning mirror 2 6 reflects the second divergent laser beam 3 2. Therefore, the second laser divergent light beam 32 forms a line of illumination 33 on the second viewing screen 28. The scanning mirror 26 repeatedly scans the line illumination 3 3 through a part of the second viewing screen 28 with a scanning motion 3 4 having a scanning frequency. Therefore, a second largest area is irradiated. If the eye or optical system views the second viewing screen 28, the eye or intensity detector will detect the illumination on the second viewing screen 28 if the scanning frequency is high enough. Eyes or intensity detectors will also detect spots. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Spotting is a serious problem in many laser-illuminated systems. This problem is exacerbated by a relatively slow decrease in one of the contrast factors due to a 1 / (N) 1/2 reduction factor. Therefore, other methods are needed to reduce laser spots. [Invention Summary] The present invention provides a method for reducing laser spots using polarization averaging. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) '~ -7- 499785 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (5 ) And equipment. A polarized beam splitter divides a first polarized laser output into a second polarized laser output and a third polarized laser output. The polygon mirror creates a light path difference between the second and third polarized laser outputs. The optical path difference is at least about the coherence length of the first polarized laser output. The second and third polarized laser outputs are combined into a fourth polarized laser output. The fourth polarized laser output illuminates a depolarization screen. If a * human eye or * an optical system with an intensity detector views the depolarized screen, the eyes and the intensity detector will detect that the speckle is reduced. This reduction in speckle is an averaging effect caused by uncorrelated speckle patterns produced by the second and third polarized laser outputs. A first alternative embodiment of the present invention may work under conditions where the optical path difference is not at least about a coherence length. In a first alternative embodiment, a piezoelectric transducer that is driven at a sufficient frequency changes a light path length by an amount that is at least about half the wavelength of the first polarized laser output. Even multiples. Changing the light path to a sufficient frequency can provide uncorrelated speckle patterns. A second alternative embodiment includes the polarized beam splitter, first and second quarter-wave plates, first and second mirrors, and a piezoelectric converter. The polarized light beam splitter splits the first polarized laser output into a fifth polarized laser output and a sixth polarized laser output, each of which has a linear degree of polarization. The first and second quarter wave plates convert the linear polarization into a circular polarization. The first and second mirrors reflect the fifth polarized laser output and the sixth polarized laser output. The first and this paper size are applicable. National National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm.) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) System-8-499785 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (6) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) The H quarter wave board then converts the circular polarization to linear polarization, which is The original polarization was rotated 90 degrees. The piezoelectric converter coupled to the first mirror changes the optical path length of the first polarized laser output by an even number multiple of a half of the wavelength of the first polarized laser output. The polarized beam splitter combines the fifth polarized laser output and the sixth polarized laser output into a seventh polarized laser output, which illuminates the depolarized screen. By changing the light path to a sufficient frequency, the eye and intensity detector will detect that the speckle is reduced. A third alternative embodiment combines two orthogonally polarized laser outputs from two lasers into a combined laser output. The combined laser output illuminates the depolarized screen. A fourth alternative embodiment rotates the first laser output at a rotational frequency to form a rotating polarization. The first laser output with this rotational polarization illuminates the depolarized screen.

The first polarized laser output 4 6 is coupled to the polarized beam splitter 40. The polarized beam splitter 40 divides the first polarized laser output 46 into a second polarized laser output 48 and a third polarized laser output 49. The third polarized laser output 49 continues along the optical axis 44. The second polarized laser output 48 is reflected by the first mirror 50, a second mirror 52, a third mirror 54, and a fourth mirror 56. The first, second, third and fourth mirrors 50, 52, 54 and 56 define a light guide.

By transmitting the second polarized laser output through the light guide, the second polarized laser output 4 8 has been shifted by an optical path difference from the third polarized laser output 4 9 . The fourth polarized laser output 5 8 is then coupled to the depolarized screen 4 2. The depolarizing screen 42 reflects or transmits the fourth laser output like a randomly polarized diffused light. If the depolarizing screen 4 2 reflects the fourth laser output 5 8, the depolarizing screen 4 2 'includes a diffuse reflection screen. If the depolarized array screen 42 transmits the fourth laser output 58, the depolarized screen 42 includes a diffused penetrating screen. If the light path difference is at least a sufficient distance, the intensity detector of the optical system of one of the depolarizing screens 42 or the eye can see the spots. The spots are reduced.

Invention Description (15) The length of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth light paths is 70, 7 2, 74, 7 6 and 7 8 define the light path difference. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the second, third, and fourth light path lengths 72, 74, 76 are possible, but not necessarily Essentially, it is located on a plane defined by the first polarized laser output 46, the first optical path length 70 and the fifth optical path length 78. At the second polarized laser output After passing through the optical path difference, the polarized beam splitter reflector 6 6 reflects the second polarized laser output 4 8 such that the second polarized laser output 4 8 and the third polarized laser output The radiation output 4 9 is combined to form the fourth laser output 58. The fourth laser output 5 8 illuminates the depolarizing screen 42. Preferably, the optical path difference is equal to or greater than Coherence length of the first laser 38. As a result, the spots generated by the P-polarization and s-polarization are non-coherent. Or, the difference in optical path is smaller than the coherence length, but the result is a speckle The reduction is less because the p-polarization and S-polarization are partially coherent. The depolarizing screen 42 produces uncorrelated first and second speckle patterns from the p-polarization. The depolarizing screen 42 also deviates from the s — The polarization produces irrelevant third and fourth speckle patterns. For the optical path difference of at least the coherence length, the first, second, third and fourth speckle patterns are irrelevant, because P — Polarization and S-polarization are non-coherent. Therefore, the speckle reduction structure 6 8 and the depolarizing screen 4 2 produce a total of 4 unrelated speckle patterns. The speckle is theoretically reduced by 1 / (4) 1/2 = 1 The speckle reduction factor of 1/2. The speckle reduction factor of 1/2 is the depolarizing screen 4 2 (which contributes a factor of 1 / (2) 1/2) and the speckle reduction paper size is applicable.

(Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page.) For light path differences less than the coherence length, there is a portion of the phase between the first and third spot patterns and between the second and fourth spot patterns This is because the P-polarization and s-polarization are partially coherent. In this example, the speckle reduction factor will be between 1 / (2) 1/2 and 1/2. A first alternative embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. The first alternative embodiment 84 includes a fifth mirror 85, a sixth mirror 86, and a seventh mirror 88.

The scanning mirror reflects the divergent laser beam 98 onto the depolarizing screen 42, and forms a line of illumination on the depolarizing screen 42. The scanning mirror scans the line illumination through the second depolarizing screen 100 in a zigzag scanning motion. This jagged scanning motion has two components. In a first scanning motion 102, the scanning mirror scans the line illumination 98 through the second depolarizing screen 100. In a second scanning campaign 1 04., this paper size is applicable.

Invention Description (17 ) The scanning mirror returns to the starting point of the first scanning movement 102. This second scanning motion 104 is much faster than the first scanning motion 102. The zigzag scan motion repeats the first scan motion 1 02 and the second scan motion 1 04 °. Therefore, the first scan motion 1 2 provides the second depolarization m ′ curtain 1 0 0 mainly Lighting. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that other scanning movements and sequences can also be used to illuminate the second depolarizing screen 100. In this third alternative embodiment 93, the spots are The number of unrelated speckle patterns is reduced. The four unrelated speckle patterns are caused by a combination of the second depolarizing screen Γ 〇 0 and the light path difference (provided by the speckle reduction structure 68). If the first laser 38 has a long coherence length, it is difficult or impractical for the optical path difference to be equal to or greater than the coherence length of the first laser 38. A fourth alternative embodiment of the present invention which considers a long coherence length is shown in FIG. 11. This fourth embodiment 105 is added to a piezoelectric converter 106 to the preferred embodiment. In this fourth alternative embodiment 105, the piezoelectric converter 106 is coupled to the fourth mirror 56.

Description of the invention (21) Oscillation voltage driven at sufficient frequency. When the sixth and seventh polarized laser outputs 1 2 2 and 1 2 4 return to the first and second quarter-wave boards 1 0 8 and 1 2 0, the first and second four The half-wave boards 1 0 and 1 2 0 respectively convert the laser outputs 1 2 2 and 1 2 4 that are the sixth and seventh polarizations to P-polarized and s-polarized. The polarized beam splitter 40 reflects the sixth polarized laser output 1 2 2 and passes the seventh polarized laser output 1 2 4 through, thereby forming an eighth laser output 1 2 6 which illuminates the Depolarized screen 4 2. The spots are reduced by two pairs of uncorrelated spots, which can be further uncorrelated by changing the amplitude of the sixth optical path length. An eighth alternative embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 15. An eighth alternative embodiment 13.0 includes the first and second lasers 3 8 and 1 1 2, a birefringent crystal 1 3 2, and the depolarizing screen 4 2. The first laser 3 8 has a fourth linearly polarized electric field 1 3 4. The second laser 1 1 2 has a fifth linearly polarized electric field 1 3 6. The birefringent crystal 1 3 2 is oriented such that the first polarized laser output 4 6 becomes an extraordinary light in the birefringent crystal 1 3 2 and the fifth polarized laser output 1 1 4 becomes An ordinary light in the birefringent crystal 1 3 2.

Description of the invention ( 22) Polarized screen 4 2. In the ninth alternative embodiment 140, the polarization rotator 142 is driven by a third electronic signal 144. The polarization rotator 1 4 2 rotates the first polarized laser output 4 6 to form a ninth laser output 1 4 6 which has a rotating polarization. The ninth laser output illuminates the depolarizing screen 42. The ninth laser output 1 4 6 with the rotating polarization produces four unrelated speckle patterns. If a rotation frequency is sufficient, the eye and intensity detector averages the four irrelevant speckle patterns, so the eye and anterior detector can detect that the speckle is reduced. The polarization rotator 1 4 2 is preferably an electron-optical polarization rotator, such as a liquid crystal polarization rotator, a Pockel cell (cell) or a Kerr cell (cell). Alternatively, the polarization rotator is one of the half-wave plates which is mechanically rotated. A tenth alternative embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 17. The tenth alternative embodiment 150 includes the first laser 38, the half-wave plate 80, and the polarizing beam splitter 40. The first and second mirrors 50 and 52, the polarizing screen 42, and the first and second quarter-wave boards. 1 1 8 and 1 2 0. The polarized beam splitter 40 divides the first polarized laser output 46 into tenth and eleventh polarized laser outputs 1 5 2 and 1 5 4 which have p-polarization and s-polarization, respectively. The polarized beam splitter 40 transmits the tenth polarized laser output 15 2 toward the first quarter wave plate 1 1 8. The polarized beam splitter 40 reflects the i-polarized laser output 15 4 toward the second quarter-wave plate 1 2 0. The first quarter-wave plate 1 1 8 has a first optical axis whose p polarization is turned 45 ° with respect to the tenth polarized laser output 1 5 2.

Description of Invention (23) The first quarter wave board 1 1 8 P polarization conversion of the tenth polarized laser output 1 5 2 Into circular polarization. The first mirror 50 reflects the tenth polarized laser output 15 2 '. When the tenth-polarized laser output 15 2 returns to the first quarter-wave plate 1 1 8, the first quarter-wave plate converts circular polarization to s-polarization. Therefore, the tenth polarized laser output 1 5 2 advances from the polarized beam splitter reflector 6 6 to the first mirror 50 along a seventh optical path length, and then returns to the polarized beam splitter reflector 6 6. The polarized beam splitter 40 then reflects the tenth polarized laser output 15 2 toward the second quarter-wave plate 12 0. The second quarter-wave plate 1 2 0 has a second optical axis whose s-polarization is turned 45 degrees with respect to the tenth polarized laser output 1 5 2. The second quarter-wave board 1 2 0 converts the s .-polarization of the tenth polarized laser output 15 2 into a circular polarization. The second mirror 5 2 reflects the tenth polarized laser output 1 5 2. When the tenth polarized laser output 15 2 returns to the first quarter wave plate 1 2 0, the second quarter wave plate converts circular polarization to P-polarization. Therefore, the tenth polarized laser output 1.5 2 proceeds along the eighth optical path length from the polarized beam splitter reflector 6 6 to the second mirror 5 2 and then returns to the polarized beam splitter reflector 6 6. The polarized beam splitter 4 transmits the tenth polarized laser output 1 5 2, and thus combines the tenth polarized laser output 1 5 2 and the eleventh polarized laser output 1 5 4 to form The fourth. Laser output 5 8 It has laser output 1 5 2 between the tenth polarization and the eleventh partial paper size application.

Description of the invention (24) The optical path difference between the oscillated laser output 1 5 4. The seventh and eighth light path lengths define the light guide with the light path difference. Preferably, the optical path difference is at least the coherence length. The fourth laser output 5 8 illuminates the depolarizing screen 42, and the spots are thus reduced by four unrelated spot patterns. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that in the tenth alternative embodiment 150, the first and second quarter-wave plates 118 and 120 can reflect the first mirror by the first mirror 50. The ten-polarized laser output 1 5 2 to the second mirror 52 and the second mirror 52 to reflect the tenth-polarized laser output 1 5 2 to the polarized beam splitter reflector 6 6 are cancelled. . The first and second tests were performed using a first test arrangement similar to the preferred embodiment 37. In the first experiment, the speckle reduction structure 6 8 was absent. In the second experiment, the speckle reduction structure 6 8 was present. In theory, the speckle reduction structure 6 8 should reduce the speckle by a factor of 0 ▲ 7 0 7 = 1 / (2) 1/2 because the speckle reduction structure 6 8 doubles the number of irrelevant speckle patterns. In the first test, the comparison was 56. 8%. In the second test, the comparison was 42.2%. This results in a reduction factor of 0 · 7 4 3, which is similar to the theoretical 値 of 0 · 7 0 7. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other different changes can be made to the preferred embodiment without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the following patent application scope.
